The Real Madrid - Atlético Champions League Statistic That Leaves a Clear Favourite

Statistics don't lie and there is a favorite for this first Champions League clash of Real Madrid.

Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid will face each other once again in the UEFA Champions League tomorrow. The encounters between these teams in recent competitions haven't been very favorable for the Whites, who have only managed to win one of the last five. However, in the Champions League, things change radically according to the history between both clubs.

Specifically, in this first leg at the Bernabéu, things are very much in favor of the Merengues. This is all due to a statistic where, out of three games they've had directly at the White stadium, there have been three home victories. In addition to this, they have only conceded one goal in the 58/59 season and with a tally of 6 goals scored.

Statistics aren't everything in soccer, but they do provide a clear example of what Real Madrid is on their home turf. Therefore, Atlético de Madrid has to devise a very different scheme from what we've seen in recent matches.

It Won't Be Easy for Them

Real Madrid has managed to overcome all the situations that have been put in front of them in recent years. Therefore, even though Atlético de Madrid is one of their main nemeses in these years, they don't fear this encounter.

History is once again in favor of the Merengues, where they have everything necessary to persist with these past results. With 6 goals in favor, there is a considerable figure to continue increasing in this match.

However, the most surprising of all is that only one goal has been conceded for a long time. Therefore, the chances of a Merengue victory could increase even more if they come out 100% focused.

It All Depends on Them

This will be one of the most challenging encounters they have all season, and for that reason, they have to come out and dominate the opponent. Additionally, considering that the return leg is at the rival's stadium, they have to secure a positive result to avoid getting into unnecessary trouble.
